Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 541 - 539: Has the Little Guy Rebelled?

Huo Zhenyang didn’t give her the chance to ask any questions; he took a few steps over, disregarded her wishes, and with a lift of his hand, he lightly grazed her fair nose. "Just do as told."

The movement was so fluid and natural, carried out in one fell swoop, as if the little woman was his private possession.

After speaking, he adjusted his suit jacket and strode towards the outside.

Jiayi stood still for a moment, not having the chance to think any further.

It was getting late, and she still had to go to work in Yundu.

She hastily finished washing up and left the villa.

—

Because of the kidnapping incident, Jiayi had taken several days off.

Fang Yao had stayed by Xia Tingxuan’s side since Jiayi disappeared.

On the second day after Jiayi and Zaizai were rescued and taken to the hospital, Fang Yao learned the whole story from Tingxuan.

After Jiayi came to work today, without saying anything, Fang Yao called her into the office and thoroughly questioned her.

Following that was a long silence.

Although Fang Yao had long been aware of the vague and ambiguous romance between the two, she hadn’t expected there to be such a complicated entanglement.

Jiayi’s son turned out to be Derek’s.

At last, Fang Yao rested her hands crossed under her chin, and her eyelashes flickered, "So, the Huo Family’s intention now is for you and Zaizai to go back? Even if you don’t go back, Zaizai has to?"

Jiayi nodded.

Fang Yao took a deep breath, and it seemed that Jiayi was reluctant, but if the Huo Family was adamant about taking them back, it would be tricky to turn them away.

Before entering the office, Jiayi had already made up her mind, and this time she didn’t hesitate, "Fang Yao, I need your help."

With a raised eyebrow, Fang Yao half-joked, half-seriously said, "If you’re asking me to help you and your family of three flee to avoid the Huo Family, I’m afraid that’s out of my power."

She didn’t have that kind of influence.

Jiayi’s lashes fluttered slightly, speaking quietly, "No, I just need you to accept my letter of resignation and allow me to resign."

"You’re resigning?" Fang Yao’s brow wrinkled slightly but immediately understood her intention. Yundu was owned by the Huo Family; if Jiayi truly wanted to prove that she could take good care of Zaizai and didn’t want to have any entanglement with the Huo Family, she would definitely have to leave Yundu and become self-reliant.

Jiayi had been in Yundu for so long; her skills and experience were already polished. With her innate talents, finding a job in the same industry wasn’t hard.

The difficulty was that man would not easily let her leave the company.

Fang Yao thought for a while, her gaze clear, "I promise you."

There weren’t many who dared to confront and provoke that man, but Fang Yao was definitely one of them.

Jiayi just tried her luck without much expectation, but she didn’t expect Fang Yao to agree so quickly, "Thank you, Fang Yao."

Fang Yao’s laughing eyes curved but then she seemed to recall something and her smile vanished, "However, even if you resign, I’m afraid you won’t be able to find a job smoothly."

Jiayi understood her meaning. If Huo Zhenyang wanted to keep her in Yundu, he certainly wouldn’t let her find a new job easily. After a pause, she said, "I have a very good elder sister who has come to Yunling City. I asked her to help me find a new job. In fact, she has already helped me make contact for a job, but it’s inappropriate to attend the interview while I am still employed here at Yundu."

"I’m afraid Derek might give the other party a nudge, and no matter how excellent your abilities are, they wouldn’t dare to hire you."

"It doesn’t matter, I’ll just give it a try." Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief. The day before yesterday, Anya had called with a job opportunity that was quite suitable for her area of expertise—a costume designer on a film set. This film was a big production being shot in Yunling City. The director and the actors were both well-known domestically and internationally, and the production was very generous, offering lucrative salaries to the crew members.

If they were willing to hire her, joining the film crew would give her greater career opportunities than in Yundu, with better pay. She could confidently move out of Green Island Garden and return everything she had taken or used from that man to him. She could also save up much more for Zaizai’s future education, no longer held back by the Huo Family’s material restraints.

But just as Fang Yao said, and she knew too, that job might be intercepted by that man...

Nevertheless, she wouldn’t be content without trying.

——

In the afternoon, Jiayi remembered that man had said he would come earlier to pick up Zaizai, so she asked Fang Yao for two hours off ahead of time and rushed to Qixing Kindergarten.

At the entrance of the kindergarten, a silver-black Lamborghini was parked, surrounded by a group of familiar bodyguards.

He had come earlier than her.

Jiayi paused in her steps and approached, only to hear Huo Family’s bodyguards lower their voices, "Miss Chu."

Before she got close to the car door, she could hear through the slightly open window Zaizai’s childish voice filled with delight.

"This robot must be expensive..."

"Not expensive."

The little boy was skeptical, "How can it not be expensive? I wanted Mommy to buy it for me before, and Mommy said this model is almost as much as our family’s yearly food expenses!"

The man contemplated for two seconds, "Just one year’s worth of food expenses? Then it indeed isn’t expensive."

Zaizai clicked his tongue and unceremoniously added, "Daddy, you’re so rich. This biggest robot, no one in our kindergarten has it yet, I want to bring it to play with my classmates tomorrow!"

Then came the man’s indifferent voice, "One robot isn’t enough for the whole class to play with. Later on, Daddy will have Uncle Derek go buy a few more of the same kind for you."

"Yay! Daddy is the best!"

Daddy?!

And— the best?

Is this a rebellion?!

Jiayi’s expression changed ever so slightly; had the little guy defected?

They had agreed he would call him ’uncle’, yet he was saying one thing to her face and another behind her back, playing both sides!

Just a few toys, and the little guy had been bought!

Moreover, the two of them sounded incredibly harmonious!

But she couldn’t blame Zaizai; what resistance does a child have? Seeing such high-end toys, of course, he couldn’t resist the temptation.

Clearly, the man had ulterior motives. It was obvious he was using money to lure Zaizai, trying to buy his heart bit by bit!

"Zaizai," she called out softly through the car window, biting her lip.

Zaizai immediately went silent in the car, glanced at Huo Zhenyang, and put down the robot toy.

When Huo Zhenyang saw her approaching, he acted as if nothing had happened, opened the car door, and said, "Get in, let’s go."

She held back her resentment, "Mr. Huo, you asked me to come with you to pick up Zaizai, where exactly are we going?"

"You’ll find out when we get there," he said, his eyes lifting.

As she hesitated, he already cooled his gaze, "If you’re not coming, we’ll go ahead."

Jiayi had no choice but to bend down and get into the car.

After a swift ride, accompanied by the protection of the Huo Family’s bodyguards, the luxury car finally stopped at the side of a road.

Huo Zhenyang got out of the car, bent over, and with one arm picked up Zaizai, giving a glance to the young woman in the back seat, "Do you want to come with us?"

Jiayi’s throat moved—could she not follow? Who knew what he planned to do with Zaizai, now that she had come all this way.

She got out of the car and followed Huo Zhenyang forward, only getting close enough to see it was Yunling City’s police station.
